This Earth-type levee stands at a height of 15 feet and stretches for 14,990 feet, providing storage for up to 3,900 acre-feet of water. The reservoir primarily serves purposes other than flood control, with a normal storage capacity of 3,388 acre-feet and a surface area of 307 acres.
Managed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), this levee has been assessed to be in fair condition as of April 2021, with a high risk rating. Despite lacking a spillway, the structure does not pose a significant hazard potential. The last inspection was conducted in February 2015, with a recommended inspection frequency of 5 years. While the dam is not under the jurisdiction of federal agencies, it remains a crucial component of the local water resource infrastructure, contributing to the management of the San Bernard River's flow.
